You can add Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, to your 2XKO roster during Season 1 through several unlock options. The game offers both standard methods and a limited-time recruitment event that lets you earn her without spending currency.
If you want access as soon as possible, you can choose the path that fits your playstyle and time commitment. This overview prepares you to decide how and when you unlock Caitlyn for use across game modes.
Unlocking Caitlyn in 2XKO for free
You can add Caitlyn to your roster without spending currency by participating in her time-limited recruitment event tied to Season 1. The event runs for three weeks and unlocks more than just the fighter.
What you earn during the event
- Caitlyn Champion
- Crimson Chroma
- In My Sights taunt
You progress the event by playing the game. Completing Daily, Weekly, and Featured missions fills the recruitment track while also awarding Credits and Battle Pass XP. You do not need special modes or ranked play; regular activity moves the bar forward.
| Activity Type | Progress Gained | Extra Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Daily missions | Small, consistent | Credits |
| Weekly missions | Moderate | Credits, XP |
| Featured missions | High | Credits, XP |
If you started with a new account, you also received one Champion Token. You can spend that token to unlock Caitlyn instantly, but doing so consumes it. While the recruitment event remains active, saving the token lets you unlock another champion instead.
After the event ends, Caitlyn becomes available for 10,000 Credits, making the event the most efficient free option.
How to unlock Caitlyn using premium currency
You can unlock Caitlyn directly with KO Points, the game’s premium currency. The standard fighter bundle costs 1,000 KO Points and includes the character plus a chroma and taunt.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Caitlyn bundle | 1,000 KO Points |
| Approx. price | $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.50 |
You can also buy Starter Edition packs with KO Points. These bundles grant Champion Tokens, which you can spend to unlock Caitlyn, but they do not include her cosmetics.
If cosmetics matter to you, look to the Season 1 Battle Pass. The premium track features Chromacrash Caitlyn, while the Ultra tier adds Arcane Caitlyn.
